I kinda sorta liked the first Escape Room film… the suspense really wasn’t there but the characters were ok and I rather liked the ending. So I was surprised to see a sequel coming, but I wasn’t dreading it. I … Continue reading
Well, based on the reviews of this movie, I guess I was supposed to absolutely hate it. And certainly if you are the kind of person who is sick and tired of screen-life movies and/or movies about quarantine, I can … Continue reading
